Jealousy

Jealousy is an emotional response that occurs when someone perceives a threat to a valued relationship or possessions, often feeling insecurity, envy, or fear of losing something important. It combines feelings of resentment and longing and can arise from concerns about rivalries or inadequacies. While common, excessive jealousy can negatively impact relationships and well-being. Understanding it as a natural, human emotion helps in managing it healthily by addressing underlying fears and communicating openly.
